Understand Our Brand: Rayovac

Our family of brands generates more than $3.2 billion in annual revenues and our products are sold in more than 100 million stores. This is the first post in a series profiling the powerful products that make up Spectrum Brands.

All About RayovacWhen you hear “Rayovac,” you think “batteries.” But the product line includes so much more. Our Rayovac employees work on everything from flashlights to portable cell phone chargers to glow sticks in addition to our line of more well-known products like rechargeable batteries and hearing aid batteries. Rayovac’s retail clients include corporations like Six Flags and former partnerships include celebrities like Michael Jordan.

Our HistoryRayovac was originally founded in Madison, Wisconsin as the French Battery Company in 1906. Its history is long and filled with “firsts” – the company patented the first vacuum tube hearing aid, the first leak-proof dry cell battery, and the first portable radio with high-fidelity reception.

Where We WorkThese days, Rayovac still thrives in the same city in which it was founded alongside our Remington and Russell Hobbs brands. Wisconsin is also the home of two battery manufacturing plants in Fennimore and Portage. In late 2013, Rayovac will move to our new energy-efficient world headquarters in the Madison suburb of Middleton.
